CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Three-Year Non-Exclusive Professional Services Agreement
with Rosa Lowinger&Associates, Inc., for Maintenance and Conservation Treatment of
Various Artworks in the Fort Worth Public Art Collection in the Amount Not to Exceed
$60,000.00 (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a three-year non-exclusive
professional services Agreement with Rosa Lowinger&Associates, Inc., for maintenance and
conservation treatment of various artworks in the Fort Worth Public Art Collection in the amount not to
exceed $60,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
This non-exclusive Professional Services Agreement (Agreement) will enable the City to implement
its Public Art Collection Management/Conservation program in order to care for and maintain the
City's Public Art collection as set forth in the Long Range Public Art Plan for the Water Fund adopted
by City Council on May 9, 2006 (M&C G-15185). The initial term of the Agreement will be three years
with the option to renew for three additional one-year terms for a total amount not to exceed
$60,000.00, using funds from the annual Public Art Conservation Fund-Operating Budget.
The Fiscal Year 2013-2014 Fort Worth Public Art (FWPA)Annual Work Plan adopted by City Council
on October 16, 2012 (M&C C-25920) outlines the Collection Management Plan for the first year of
this Agreement. Subsequent annual Conservation Work Plans, recommended by the Fort Worth Art
Commission and approved by the City Council as part of the Annual Work Plan, will be issued to the
conservator and added as addenda to this Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently owns 68 artworks accessioned into the Fort Worth Public Art Collection. During
the term of this Agreement, the collection is expected to increase to approximately 90 artworks sited
in all Council Districts. The collection is comprised of works including stand-alone sculptures, painted
and tile murals, architecturally integrated enhancements and artist-created historic monuments.
On January 7, 2013, Fort Worth Public Art issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for conservation
services for the purposes of creating a pre-qualified pool of qualified conservators with various media
specialties. The RFQ was sent to individuals and firms, posted on the FWPA and City of Fort Worth
websites, and posted on the National Public Art Network Listserv. Services to be performed under
this Agreement include (but are not limited to): condition assessments, general cleaning,
conservation treatment and repair, treatment documentation (written and photographic), maintenance
planning and design review and consultation.
Respondents were asked to provide materials that demonstrate ability to accomplish the work (firm
history, team credentials and related experience), philosophical treatment approach, evidence of
insurability and schedule of fees. Applicants were evaluated based on ability to perform with various
medias and materials, including metals, organic materials, stone, tile, glass and technological media.
